to handle end of Housing. Grasping Housing with installed screws 
downward, sharply strike heads of screws on a sturdy table to 
dislodge Cylinder. Cylinder should drop out of Housing after a few 
impacts. If it does not, carefully heat alternate sides of Housing until it 
is very warm. Using thick, heavy gloves to avoid being burned, grasp 
Housing and repeat the attempt to dislodge the Cylinder.

8.

Remove the two Air Port Gaskets (29) and Air Port Gasket Retainers 
(30) from Housing. 

Disassembly of the Handle

1.

Clamp Trigger Handle Assembly in a copper-covered or leather-
covered vise jaws with Straight Inlet (10) upward.

2.

Using a wrench, unscrew and remove the Inlet as well as the Air 
Strainer Screen (19) and throttle Valve Spring (8).

3.

Remove Throttle Valve Assembly (6) and Throttle Valve Plunger (5) 
from Handle.

4.

If Trigger (13) must be removed, use an arbor press to push Trigger 
Pin (14) from Handle and slide Trigger out of the slot in Handle.

Assembly
General Instructions

1.

Always press on the 

inner

 ring of a ball-type bearing when installing 

the bearing on a shaft.

2.

Always press on the 

outer

 ring of a ball-type bearing when installing 

the bearing in a bearing recess.

3.

Whenever grasping a tool or part in a vice, always use copper-
covered or leather-covered vise jaws to protect the surface of the 
part and help prevent distortion. This is particularly true of threaded 
members and housings.

4.

Always clean every part and wipe every part with a thin film of oil 
before installation.

5.

Apply O-Ring lubricant to every O-Ring before assembly.

6.

Check every bearing for roughness. If an open bearing must be 
cleaned, wash it thoroughly in a clean solution and dry it with a clean 
cloth. 

Sealed or shielded bearings should never be cleaned

Work grease thoroughly into every open bearing before installation.

Assembly of the Handle

1.

Position Trigger (13) in Handle (1) and using an arbor press, push 
Trigger Pin (6) full length into Handle so that it captures the Trigger.

2.

Clamp Handle in copper-covered or leather-covered vise jaws with 
air inlet opening upward.

3.

Remove Oil Chamber Plug (12) and fill reservoir with recommended 
oil and replace the plug.

4.

Coat Throttle Valve Plunger (5) with oil and insert it, rounded end 
leading, into the inlet hole in Handle.

5.

Install a new Throttle Vavle Face (7) on Throttle Valve (6) and insert 
assembly, Valve Face leading, into inlet hole in Handle.

6.

Encircle the cone end of the Air Strainer Screen (9) with large end of 
Throttle Valve Spring (8) and insert both parts, Spring leading, into 
inlet hole in Handle.

7.

Install Straight Inlet (10) over Strainer Screen in Handle and tighten 
Inlet between 20 and 25 ft-lb (27 and 34 Nm) torque.

8.

Remove Handle from vise and test Trigger. If Trigger functions 
properly, place assembled Handle aside. If it does not function 
properly, disassemble Handle to determine cause of problem.

Assembly of the Motor

1.

Lightly clamp Motor Housing (27) in copper-covered or leather-
covered vise jaws with handle end upward.

NOTICE

Excessive clamping pressure will distort the Motor Housing and 
make motor installation extremely difficult. Do not insert the 
hammer case end of the Motor Housing more than 1" (25mm) in to 
the vise jaws.

2.

Coat inside surface of Housing and outer edge of Front End Plate 
(24) with a light film of oil.

3.

Using a long tee hex wrench as an alignment pin, insert Front End 
Plate, copper face trailing, into Motor Housing. Align dowel hole in 
End Plate with dowel hole at the bottom of motor bore.

4.

Lubricate and insert a new fiber Air Port Gasket Retainer (30) in one 
of the air ports inside Motor Housing.

5.

Install an Air Port Gasket (29) in air port against Gasket Retainer with 
flat end of Gasket away from Retainer.

6.

Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to install remaining Gasket and Retainer in 
other air port.

7.

Coat outside of Cylinder (23) with a light film of oil and using the long 
tee hex wrench as an alignment pin to align holes in Cylinder with the 
holes in Front End Plate and Housing, insert Cylinder into Housing.

8.

Coat inside of Cylinder and Rotor (20) with a light film of oil and insert 
the splined hub of the Rotor through cylinder into Front End Plate.

9.

Coat each Vane (22) with a light film of oil and insert a Vane into each 
slot in the Rotor. Vanes are to be installed with curved edge toward 
center of Rotor. Spin Rotor to settle Vanes in position.

10. Using a long tee hex wrench to align the hole in Rear End Plate (20) 

with hole in Cylinder, insert Rear End Plate, bronze face leading, into 
Motor Housing against Cylinder. End Plate is properly seated when 
large trailing face of the End Plate is slightly below face of Motor 
Housing.

11. Grease Rear Rotor Bearing (19) and install it in recess of Rear End 

Plate.

12. Remove alignment pin from assembled motor and install Cylinder 

Dowel (26). Dowel is properly seated when end of Dowel does not 
protrude above End Plate.

13. Install Motor Clamp Washers (18) against Rear End Plate so that 

large outer edge of the Washer contacts End Plate.

Assembly of the Reverse Valve

1.

Inject a small amount of grease into hole in Motor Housing where 
Reverse Lock Plunger (34) will be installed. With the grease to hold 
them in position, install the Reverse Lock Plunger Spring (35) and 
Lock Plunger.

2.

Install a new Reverse Valve Bushing Seal (32) in the annular groove 
on the Reverse Valve (31).

3.

Coat Reverse Valve with a light film of oil and install it in Motor 
Housing with the side hole nearest to Seal pointed toward Rotor (21).

4.

Position Reverse Lever (33) on Reverse Valve and while using a thin 
blade screwdriver to depress Reverse Lock Plunger, push Lever onto 
Reverse Valve.

5.

Place a new Handle Gasket (15) on Motor Housing.

6.

Examine Reverse Valve Seal (11) located inside Handle and if it is 
nicked, deformed or worn, remove it and install a new Seal.

7.

Fill rotor cavity in Handle with recommended grease and position 
Handle on Motor Housing.

8.

Install the four Handle Cap Screws (16) and Lock Washers (17) and 
using an alternate tightening pattern, tighten Screws to between 10 
and 12 ft-lb (13.5 and 16.3 Nm) torque.

9.

Move Reverse Lever through the forward and reverse positions to 
make certain that lever locks in position.

10. Turn assembly in the vise jaws and clamp on Handle with rotor shaft 

upward.

11. Grease Front Rotor Bearing (25) and place it over the rotor shaft.
12. Select a socket or piece of tubing that will fit over the outside race of 

the Bearing and tap it with the hammer to seat Bearing into Housing. 

13. Pack Bearing with additional grease and rotate the rotor shaft. If shaft 

dose not rotate smoothly, rap end of the rotor shaft with a soft 
hammer to set motor and try to rotate shaft again.
